The 2nd International Conference on Genomics in the Americas will bring together the unique strengths of two world-class institutions – BGI and University of California, Davis – to provide a powerful platform to share ground-breaking research in basic and applied genomics and to advance new approaches to sequencing and bioinformatics.

ICG Americas-II is modeled after BGI's International Conferences on Genomics held annually since 2006 in China, which is regarded as one of the top scientific gatherings that features recent developments in genome sciences. The conference is uniquely formatted to maximize opportunities to interact directly with other genomics industry luminaries, scientific thought leaders, key decision makers, top pharmaceutical executives, and influential policy makers.
